Abstract
Intracerebroventricular administration of Orphanin FQ (5.5, 55 or 550 pmol) caused a dose-related increase in prolactin secretion in both male and female rats and stimulated GH secretion in males. The magnitude of the prolactin secretory response was greater in females than in males. These effects of OFQ on prolactin and growth hormone release are the same as the stimulatory effects of the endogenous opioid peptides. Copyright 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.Entities:
